As a sister, she had no idea what he was doing, where he lived, or what he was doing, and she couldn't find anyone to ask him.
He is always mysterious and unwilling to mention what happened in the past and why he didn't come back...
Haiyao only vaguely felt that her innocent and sunny Xiao Bei seemed to have really disappeared!
The Xiaobei who came back has a bit of the edge of a sharp sword in his maturity. The fierceness flashing in his black eyes is no longer just anger, but has a coldness, a world that Haiyao cannot understand.
When talking about Lu Xiaobei, Haiyao's smile dimmed. Gu Tingchuan asked her not to worry about so much. After all, Xiaobei was also an adult and he should be responsible for his own life. She thought about it. She just wanted to cure him wholeheartedly.
Leaning gently on his chest, she kept talking to him, wanting to talk to him about various topics. Gu Tingchuan listened quietly and occasionally responded, like a quiet listener who would not bother her.
He won't interrupt her or be distracted...
He was really listening to her attentively, and it was a blessing to be able to listen to her at this moment.
"When you get better, let's go to Paris together, okay? I'll take you to the places I've been to. I've written down your name in many places. I don't know if you're still there..."
"I hated you during that time, but I just couldn't forget it. I couldn't forget it no matter what. I thought about it even when I was eating and sleeping. The most serious thing was that I often had auditory hallucinations. When I heard you calling me, I became sensitive to the number six.
When I see this number, I can think of your expression when you called me Liuliu for the first time."
"Tingchuan..."
"Um?"
"Have you ever missed me that way?"
She looked up at him, met his deep black pupils, and saw him smiling slightly, reaching out and gently caressing her cheek, inserting his fingers into her hair, gently stroking her long hair, and whispered
,"No."
"Didn't miss you."
"I do not believe……"
She smiled, and his smile also deepened. He didn't say anything further, and Haiyao didn't ask any more questions. Isn't the answer obvious?
Every time he thinks about her, his heart aches...
If she was the factor that contributed to his serious illness, she would really rather he forget her and never think about her.
*****
The past few days have been very peaceful. Haiyao submitted her resignation letter to the company, but for some reason it was never approved. She did not go to work, and she only stayed with Gu Tingchuan. The children were temporarily living in the Gu family's old house.
Having the space to be alone together, it feels like I have returned to the time when I first got married, and my days were quiet and happy.
In the morning, get him up and walk outside to get some fresh air.
He would accompany her to the supermarket to buy groceries, and he would watch from the side as she chose things, his black eyes staring at her momentarily, not minding the presence of others at all, watching her every move lovingly, sometimes
He even took pictures of her with a camera. Wherever she went, he took pictures. When Haiyao wanted to get closer to take a look, he ducked away with a smile, raised his hands, took her in his arms, kissed her on the face, and held her up
My hand took the opportunity to capture this moment...
While she was cooking, he stood quietly aside and filmed it with a camera. Haiyao gradually became accustomed to it, smiling back at his behavior and even making expressions to him behind the camera, which made Gu Tingchuan laugh loudly.
Already.
As we approach the end of the year, the weather is getting cooler and the winter atmosphere is getting stronger.
It was the easiest time to get sick in such weather, and Gu Tingchuan caught a few colds because of this. As long as he caught a cold, his body would become even weaker. Every time she heard him cough, her heart felt tense, and she was nervous and afraid.
She never imagined that one morning when she woke up, she would be unable to wake him up.
As soon as she touched his forehead, the warmth of the touch burned her heart. At that moment, she was so anxious that she burst into tears. She hurriedly looked for her cell phone to call the hospital, but at this moment, she heard his weak voice, "Don't
beated."
He woke up, put his hands into a fist and put it to his lips, coughed a few times, and said, "Just ask Dr. Lu to come home and give me an injection."
She disagreed and insisted on sending him to the hospital, but he refused to go no matter what. She was the one who compromised in the end.
After confirming that his heartbeat rate was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief and called Dr. Lu.
She stayed with him all morning, waiting for the doctor to leave. Seeing that he was asleep, she also sat on the sofa and dozed off, holding her cheek with one hand and shaking her head from side to side.
It wasn't until her phone vibrated, her hand tilted, her head lost its support, and she clicked heavily that she woke up.
She quickly turned off her phone, and after seeing that she didn't wake him up, she got up and walked out the door.
The call was from Xu Yizhong...
During these days, he helped her a lot...
He personally delivers Gu Tingchuan's Chinese medicine. Sometimes when she goes out to buy things alone, he will unexpectedly appear next to her and help carry things...
The frequency of such coincidences is a bit suspicious. It was as if he knew when she went out and where she went, and he was sure to meet her.
She went out without an umbrella or a car, so he came to pick her up.
Her car broke down on the road, and he came over and huddled under the car to help her repair it. She had never seen Xu Yizhong who could repair a car before. She smiled and asked him when he learned to repair a car. He looked quite professional, and he also
He responded with a smile: There is no way, I have to learn a craft. I can still do this if I have no food to eat.
She went to buy oil and rice, but she couldn't carry them away, so he came to help her.
Although Hai Yao found it strange, he didn't think much about it and even shied away from it, saying that he was also sick and didn't need his help. However, he always avoided the topic of stomach cancer.
Lu Haiyao called over, and Xu Yizhong's tired voice came from inside, "Have you finished the medicine you took last time? I may help you get it later today, cough cough cough..."
Hearing that his voice was hoarse and coughing, she knew that he was also sick, "You have a cold?"
"A little bit."
"If you feel uncomfortable, just rest. I can get it myself. Just follow the medicine on the prescription, right?"
"Need not!"
He immediately interrupted her, "I'm going to help you. I've always been the one to get it. I'm more familiar with it. Just take good care of him."
His eagerness made Hai Yao feel a little confused.
After hanging up the phone, she still felt the doubts in her heart growing...
Looking at the time, it was time to prepare lunch for Gu Tingchuan. She went downstairs and wandered around the kitchen in a daze. When cutting the meat, she accidentally made deep cuts on her fingers.
The bright red blood suddenly overflowed and couldn't be stopped, and the feeling of pain also came.
Haiyao endured the pain and turned on the cold water to wash away the blood on her hands. The bright red blood melted in the water and could not stop bleeding for a long time. Haiyao could only put down her work temporarily and go to the living room to look for the medicine box.
Looking at the finger that had been bandaged with a hemostatic patch, she sighed and returned to the kitchen.
While he was making soup, he came down from upstairs, came behind her, hugged her, rested his chin on her shoulder, "It smells so good, I woke up just by smelling it. What delicious food did you make?"
Haiyao was worried, turned around and put her hand on his forehead, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Her hand caught his attention. He pulled her hand down, feeling extremely distressed. Her hands were red from the cold water, and there were wounds on her fingers...
She was so afraid of cold and pain, but she didn't complain to him again.
